The Coca-Cola Scholars Program, the largest corporate-sponsored, achievement-based scholarship program in the country, is now accepting applications from high school seniors to be Coca-Cola Scholars and receive one of 150 college scholarships worth $20,000.
Students with at least a 3.0 GPA may apply at Cokeurl.com/ApplyNow through 5 p.m. on Sept. 30 EST. Full eligibility requirements can be found at Cokeurl.com/Scholarships. Coke Scholars not only demonstrate excellence in academics but also serve as leaders in the community and are dedicated to creating positive change.
In 2025, five Iowa and Illinois high school seniors were named Coke Scholars, each receiving a $20,000 college scholarship. Less than 1/6 of 1% of applicants were chosen to receive this extremely competitive award.
In addition to receiving college scholarships, Coca-Cola Scholars will attend Coca-Cola Scholars Weekend in Atlanta April 15-18, 2027, where they will be honored at the annual Coca-Cola Scholars Banquet and participate in the Coca-Cola Scholars Leadership Development Institute facilitated by program alumni.
Through networking, collaborations and friendships, the Coke Scholars community strives to make a greater impact together. Recent initiatives include a Coke Scholars Service Summit supporting victims of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina and a cokeurl.com/coaching coaching program that partners seasoned alumni with first-year Coke Scholars as they transition to college.
In a recent survey, 97% of Scholars said CCSF programs have made them better leaders and increased their involvement in their communities, and nearly six in 10 said the Coke Scholars network is more beneficial than any other.
